is to say, Christ is the only direct generation of the Father. Yahshua is the only being directly created
by the Father. All other things were created through the agency of the Son. Yahshua created man, and
He created the angels.

Colossians 1:15-16
He [Yahshua] is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation. For by Him all things
were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions
or rulers or authorities - all things have been created by Him and for Him.

The words “thrones,” “dominions,” “rulers,” and “authorities” identify angelic beings. Paul, in
another of his epistles identifies the fallen angels as being included in this group of powerful, ruling
beings.

Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

The apostle Paul is describing here the fallen ones. These “spiritual hosts of wickedness” are the
Nephilim. They are the adversary of the righteous. They were not created evil, but they turned to evil
after they were created. In their original condition, they were all the holy sons of God (bene ha
Elohim). Satan in his original condition was also a holy one.

Ezekiel 28:15
You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, until unrighteousness was found
in you.

The Biblical definition of a son is “the male offspring, or generation, of another.” Yahweh directly
generated Yahshua. In this relationship, Yahweh is Father and Yahshua is Son. Similarly, Adam was
created by a direct act of Yahshua. Because of this, Adam is described as a “son of God.” An
interesting thing is observed in the Gospel of Luke as the genealogy of Yahshua is given. Yahshua’s
lineage is traced back through Joseph, whom people supposed to be His father. Each man named in
the list is declared to be the son of another man. This pattern continues all the way to Adam where
we are met with the only exception to this pattern. Because Adam was not descended from any other
man, but was created by Elohim, he is described as “the son of God.”

Luke 3:23-38
And when He began His ministry, Yahshua Himself was about thirty years of age, being supposedly
the son of Joseph, the son of Eli... the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

The angels, like Adam, are the creation of God. None of the angels came into being through the act
of sexual reproduction. The reason for this is made plain as we compare the angels to Adam. Adam
was created male. By himself, Adam was incapable of procreation. The Bible informs us of this in
the second chapter of Genesis.
